Yesterday we all had to set our clocks forward 1 hour. So even though we lost an hour of sleep, we gained an hour of beautiful sunlight.
It turns out there might be some benefits to losing that hour of sleep. Getting a little more daylight in your life could be the best for you and your overall health and here is why …
